Hello, My FSI B20 grinder has a Honda GX390 engine. Recently it has begun to struggle under load, coughing sooty exhaust and difficulty picking up, as though the choke is part on. I've ordered a fresh air filter, checked the carb bowl for muck (clean) It starts well enough, ticks over as usual, just bogs down under load. Any pointers appreciated. Regards Stuart

Waiting for the arb student to finish the trunk so I can get in with the walnut stump. 30min bang on plus prep and clean up. The engine has now 180hours and is now stuttering at high revs. Aside from the air filter which is recent and clean, what else might be causing this? A carb clean out? No fuel filter on these which I feel is an error given the environment.

He clearly thought it was empty and a contributory factor to the engines problem.

First I thought there was no hydraulic oil at all looking at the level. So I opened it and found the tank full to the brim. That would have made an expensive mess on a clients tarmac drive had I gone out on a job. 5 litres or more I siphoned out.
-
Oh, he even changed the hydraulic oil and this he charged me for. Which was nice.

I couldn't have expressed it better myself. This is what the mechanic was doing to mine. Only electronic part not replaced was the ECU.
-
Hey Shaunpaul. Any news?
-
Are you saying that all those may cause difficulty starting when warm? The last issue mine had was it would start, run up to a few revs below that required to activate the hydraulics then hunt.

Auction North of Rennes. If I sold it privately under French law I must guarantee it for two years though it is up to the buyer to prove I hid a known fault. Auctions are sold as seen, no come back.

It's locked in a tin shed 25kms away so it's bad vibes can't disturb my sleep patterns.

And this business of software updates. Well that ties you to regular visits to a dealer. Many chipper owners, me included like to do their own servicing. I also understand that there are very few Efi certified dealers generally and when I had my issues only 13 in the whole of France. Machines of all kinds equipped with Efi engines being sold by dealers not certified, trained and equipped to service them.
-
I still own it.
-
So, given your experience with these engines and observations of the trials and tribulations of Shaun and I. What do YOU think might be the cause of the starting issues? In my case, software updates didn't work and any number of diagnostic tests where inconclusive. I really would love to know. Stuart

It isn't only Briggs who have issues. Renault, Dacia, Nissan group have famously been taken to court by a group of owners over their TCi petrol engines. They have long been in denial of any issues and simply blamed the owners or ghosted them.

**** you Ashley...

Yeh yeh wiring loom yeh yeh... We had that one too. In fact the first fault the first Efi guy found was a rubbed through wire and he even charged me for it claiming not a warranty issue but a GM one. He refused to do a pressure test or anything recommended by GM. I call this 'dealer denial' A weird state of existence were they perpetuatly deliver poor service and in an effort to cover their incompetence, blame the customer for actually daring to use the machine. Though as ever, I truly hope this is the case for your chipper and that it is fixed and runs sweetly afterwards for ever more. Seems dealer denial isn't only confined to French dealers...

Why are Horticultural professionals SO devalued?

What are salaried climbers on in the UK? Average ability, not worthy of Instagram but can work within 500m of a childcare facility. -

I'm not joking but I am actually experiencing flashbacks of anger and frustration over my experience. So much so my wife asked me what is wrong with me today.

Especially business and pricing. -
I feel your pain so much I'm having to lie down as I'm experiencing flashbacks of anger and frustration. Mine had the same issues which no dealer could fix and in the end resulted in a new engine thanks to the intervention of Mark at BASCO (Briggs)in the UK. I suspect the ECU developed a fault. Why? Because there was literally nothing else electronic to replace.
-
Shaun, I was led a right royal merry dance by the two idiotic arrogant Efi mechanics that failed to fix a simple V twin Efi. I tell you now, go visit Ashley at GAGroundcare and leave the machine with him.

That is an excellent salary compared to France. Many climbers here are on €1800-€2400. Because the state taxes employer's almost 100% of the gross then tax the employee 25% as well.
